Classic diode based waveshaper

The TipTop Audio Fold Processor is an analogue voltage controlled wavefolder and wave multiplier, combined with a unique sub harmonic section. Designed to make less harmonic waveforms more interesting and complex.

The Fold Processor Module is based around a tried and tested, classic diode design. It takes an incoming oscillator signal and folds it to create complex tones and timbres. To control the fold section there are two controls, both with dedicated CV inputs and attenuators.

Control 1 is the fold itself, this section controls the amount of wave folding that occurs, anything from subtle harmonic enhancement, to very experimental, metallic timbres can be created using this section. Control 2 is the inject section, this controls weather odd or even harmonics (and how much of each) are processed by the fold section.

Both controls for the Fold parameters include dedicated CV inputs with attenuators, so you can dial in that perfect, slowly evolving or harsh waveform folding you're after.

The second section is the subharmonic generator, which as the name suggest generates sub harmonics based upon the incoming audio. It's effectively a square wave generator, you have options of adding one, two, four and eight octaves below the incoming audio signal, perfect for making those HUGE multi oscillator tones, or creating massive bass tones.

The TipTop Fold Processor might sits comfortably in the modular domain for VCO processing, but it can also be used for adding classic distortion to sample based material, so if you want to spice up your snare, vocal or whatever takes your fancy, run it through the fold processor!
